    They forgot to mention that his wife and he separated in 2018, keeping it secret for years. It was revealed after his death.

    Not that I think there’s anything bad about being separated/divorced, but it’d be a lie to paint him as a family man.

    I guess his criminal record for drunk driving also doesn’t fit the narrative.

      I’d urge you to reconsider this. Seperating from your partner does not invalidate you from being a ‘family man’ or a good parent. My parents divorced when I was a young age, and both of them remain committed to being attentive and involved parents (and grandparents).
